More men’s restrooms need changing tables. Fathers are parents, too!

There have been several times recently where I take my child into a public restroom for a diaper change, only to find out the men’s room has no changing station. At that point, I either have to awkwardly try to find a large enough flat spot to do it on the counter, or ask my wife to change him in the women’s room which does have a changing table.

This is not the flipping 1950’s where women solely take care of the children. Parents nowadays tend to share responsibilities, and there are also single fathers or fathers who just don’t happen to have the mother with them on the trip to the store. Put a damn changing table in the men’s restroom!

Edit: Since many have commented this is not unpopular, I will modify it to this. If the men’s room doesn’t have a changing table but the women’s does, it is completely acceptable for a dad to use the women’s room for changing a diaper.
